I totally understand the desire for Remedy to create products that encourage us 
to buy more licenses.

Yes, This is what I've always thought. I would expect a floating read first. 
But that did not happen.

In answer to other questions. The dialog has no active links, no menus, we open 
the display-only form in Submit mode. We even tried submitter mode locked and 
there was no difference.

Here's the actual user.log

<USER> <TID: 3007155120> <RPC ID: 0000001152> <Queue: List      > <Client-RPC: 
390620   > <USER: Test
       > /* Fri Aug 25 2006 10:25:20.9211 */  FLOAT  GRANT WRITE    Test   (1 
of 5 write)
<USER> <TID: 3014532016> <RPC ID: 0000001153> <Queue: Fast      > <Client-RPC:

       > /* Fri Aug 25 2006 10:26:31.8456 */  FLOAT  NO WRITE FREE  Test5   
(all 5 write in use)

I'm checking into whether the Preference server is affecting it.

Thanks,
